Crimea May (Or May Not) Be Part Of Russia As Of This Moment

DECREE MAKING CRIMEA PART OF RUSSIA HAS COME INTO FORCE FROM MOMENT OF ADOPTION; RUSSIAN ARMED FORCES ARE ONLY LEGITIMATE FORCES IN REGION -DEPUTY PRIME MINISTER OF CRIMEA

On the surface, this would mean that the Russian annexation of the Crimea if complete (and East Ukraine is coming). Especially when one considers that earlier Crimea also said it could adopt the Russian rouble as its currency and "nationalise" state property as part of plans to join the Russian Federation, a regional official was quoted as saying on Thursday.

The only problem as we reported earlier is that Kiev opened a criminal investigation against Crimean Prime Minister Sergei Askyonov, who was appointed by the region's parliament last week. The Ukrainian government does not recognise his authority or that of the parliament. In other words, Kiev will not respect the Crimea's popular choice, even if it is fully supported by Putin, which means that a showdown, one in which Russia proclaims it is defending the democracy of the Crimea against the Kiev government, is now almost inevitable.

Meanwhile, RT has decided to already add the region to Russian territory:

Nato is going to act like Mr Tough guy expecting Putin to Fold, this is only poking the Bear in the Eye, they are screwing with the wrong person. I think their psychological profile of Putin is way off. Messing with the wrong guy.

If Hillary is so smart and insightful why didn't she see this coming? Palin did and she didn't have the resources, intel, and staff Hillary had to keep an eye on this. Must be Hillary's new glasses interfered with her vision.

"Your non violent power grab is illegitimate, and is nothing like our violent power grab. Now kiss my feet."

"We will not recognize the legitimacy of a Crimean referendum” declared the unelected president of Ukraine.

Following the Crimean referendum Putin can point out that the political bodies in Crimea are all elected under a free and democratic process and are therefore legitimate, meanwhile the officials in Kiev…

Well they seized power in a violent coup de tat, and are obviously criminals by any sensible measure.

Russia keeps ~25,000 troops in Crimean bases as it is. No troops were "brought in", troops were simply sent out of the bases, and anything brought in from elsewhere was within the limits of the agreements. Which is why, the Russian parliament voted for authorization to send in the military, which would be MORE troops. There were reports of border crossings being secured and all that, but I failed to see a single report of borders being crossed en mass.

"I love how the Ukrainian puppet government calls the Crimean puppet government illegitimate.

Fucking hypocrites."

Now, the Crimean government together with the people to remain faithful to the Constitution and the President of Ukraine, should declare:Ukraine - that's us! In Kiev and the west of the country - it is not Ukraine. In Kiev - it rebels and impostors. And as Ukraine, we will put things in Kiev constitutional order. All the rebels and impostors will be arrested and prosecuted. We will sent to Kiev, our real Ukraine army to suppress the rebellion and to punish those responsible.

Any citizen and officer who executes orders criminal rebels who declared himself ministers, deputies , prosecutors and presidents, will now be an accomplice of these criminals. We will arrest any accomplice of these criminals immediately. Because we - the legitimate authority of Ukraine. We declare a regime martial law. And we begin the operation to restore constitutional order in the entire territory of Ukraine !".

I was thinking ha ha ha ha ha, none the less funny shit! This man Putin is making us look so much like shit I'm sorry to say that all we can do is laugh, albeit lunatic laughter from such a ludacris spectacle!

Another board member made a good point the other night. His thesis is that Obama is basically mentally ill and his "handlers" are just there to enable him. I think that's a fair assessment. Good as any others I've heard. If true, the FSA might be fooled, but other world leaders would not be.

It's time to quit lying to ourselves and admit we have a mentally ill president.

He suffers from delusions of grandeur - believing that all he has to do is wave his hand and it is now reality. King Canute is his role model.

This is the result of his pathological lying - he lies about anything and everything - telling the world whatever he wants it to believe regardless of the reality surrounding his pronouncements. He is increasingly disconnected from reality.

He is kept afloat by a tight circle of enablers who cover for him and spin his lies. But that is changing.

I am making this statement not to be mean, but rather because it is time to seriously consider that Barack Obama is not mentally healthy. I am saying this because he is continuing to run farther and farther away from reality in his actions, and believes that whatever he says – becomes the made-over reality that exists only in his mind.

Take his statement that "100-million" people have signed up for ObamaCare - that's nearly 1/3 of the entire 315-million person population of the US. It is a number that prima fascia is irrational.

But Obama stated it as a fact anyway to his Obamabots in Organizing for America. They showed their lack of rational relationship by accepting the number - regardless of its obvious irrational ability to be true. As an aside, it shows that these people are brain-dead, and just accept that whatever Obama says is the truth - with no rational vetting whatsoever.

That's truly scary.

But scarier still is this: NO ONE in the WH dared correct him. No statement came out saying so much as issuing the typical lame excuse that he "misspoke." Nothing. The WH enablers fell silent (as did the Looney Tunes Left MSM).

Why?

This is what makes their silence so scary: It means that the WH aides are at a point where they so fear the mad king's wrath that they will abandon reality for his irrational fantasies. They will no longer be a wall of reality constraining his thinking to the Real World.

In short, they are no longer Gatekeepers, but rather like “Alice in Wonderland,” they are the cards painting the roses red for the insane Queen of Hearts.

"She wanted white - then said what a fright, so now she's wants them red instead; we're painting the roses red, we're painting the roses red - we can't say no we won't, because if we don't, she'll want our heads instead! So we're painting the roses red . . ."

I realize that take from Alice in Wonderland goes over the heads - or should I say through the air-heads - of the Obamabots. But what do you expect from people who passively accept 100-million people being signed up for ObamaCare?

That is mental disconnect. That is insanity. That is Barack Obama.

Don't apologize for thinking him ill; he is ill.

And this latest exercise in waving his hand, and thinking that reality magically changes when he does, shows Barack Obama is disconnected from reality, and must be removed from office before his mental illness drives him to even more desperate, irrational thinking - and even more dangerous, irrational actions.-30-

What is going on is the neocons have been attacking all forms of whistle-blowing, dissent and thus free-speech itself is politicized, plus of late neocons are attacking all forms of skepticism, to try and paint it as an act of evil:

Not yet (or it's short form n'yet). Consider Reutschilders headline as just another propaganda outcry...

Unlike certain governments that let their sheep's silent voice be heard during (s)elections once in a while, the people of Crimea will decide about the political future of their Republic by themselves, in a referendum about to take place on the 16th of March.

I'd feel better if there was an actual popular vote in support of the measure. Do the Crimeans trust their "representatives" any more than anyone else (with at least two functioning brain cells)? That said, the Axis of Evil is getting its self righteous ass handed to it politically.

I said a couple of days ago Washington was going to look weaker and weaker, and Europe was going to look feeble and nervous. They tried, they lost, and now all of Ukraine will pay the heavy price due to a primarily foreign-funded pro-EU (debt-empire) rabble and armed provocateurs. Brussels and Washington deserve harsh condemnation for their roles in producing this perilous abominable imbroglio.

SO the criminals who took Kiev by force launch a criminal investigation against someone who is actually representing what the people want. These new guys got into the USA psycopaths way of thinking fast, didn't they?

They are nationalizing state property, bet you anything there are a bunch of real sour oligarch faces in the Synagogues of Kiev. There go their multi million dollar Crimean, the Pearl of the Black Sea, Getaways purchased with stolen state funds from the last US led color revolutions.

Putin wrestles tigers and Obama wears mommy pants. The U.S. Appears to be taking another beating in front of a global audience. This is not over, the shellacking will continue. Let's hope the continuing beat down doesn't cost us something serious like the petro dollar system. Russia is arguably the largest exporter of oil and natural gas. We might get more then we bargained for.

You want to talk about "legitamacy" after all the fraud and theft that has been occuring since 2008 and perpetuated by oligarchs in the E.U., IMF, and U.S.S.A. (All who have become very wealthy in the process).

The answer to your question is yes, I would not be surprised to see Texas, Montana, Utah, Arizona, etc. tell the U.S.S.A to fuck off as well.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , must declare themselves as legitimate representatives of the Ukrainian state .Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should declare that Ukraine was split into two parts , after the criminal , fascist , an armed coup in Kiev.Crimea, south and east of Ukraine, should declare that any negotiations with the government in the face of rebel Ukraine in Kiev - is illegal.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should declare that any agreement with Ukraine, which have been or will be signed by the rebels and criminal impostors in Kiev, are illegitimate and, therefore , does not entail any legal consequences.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should declare that after the revolution, only they are - the legal government power of Ukraine . And only they have the right to conduct any negotiations and sign any documents on behalf of the state of Ukraine . But not rebels in Kiev.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should declare that they will put things in Kiev and throughout the country , the constitutional order .Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should declare that all the rebels and their accomplices , as well as their supporters , will soon be arrested and brought to justice.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should apply to a law firm with a worldwide reputation . They have to order a legal examination of crimes committed by the rebels , from the point of view of the laws of Ukraine and International law.

Crimea, south and east of Ukraine , should initiate criminal cases against all criminal rebels in Kiev, who now call themselves " ministers, deputies and presidents " of Ukraine .Crimea, south and east of Ukraine, must announced an international search for each of and every criminal rebel accomplice criminals of Kiev.

When the dust settles you follow the country that controls your energy. Russia has the energy. The E.U. will not go against the interests of Russia when the stakes are this high. The U.S. Has the dollar which we debase on a monthly basis. China is also at odds with the U.S. In the South China sea and we have provoked them by supporting Japan. Russia whipped our ass in Syria, and now the Ukraine. American companies like Smithfield farms, and IBM, selling off to China. Hard to believe all that pork will go to China especially when there is a huge drought in California. I guess we'd better prepare for our new role in the world order.

Ballots are used instead of bullets until the election process is corrupted. Then bullets are used again. The people rigging elections in the USA and feeding us obvious, morons, criminals, traitors, stooges and puppets should take note.

The Ukrainians have every reason to hate the Russians yet they can't bear to be parted. Oh wait they do hate the Russians. But borders once drawn are sacred unless they aren't like Kosovo or US-Mexico.

Wars have been fought with far far less provocation than the activities that have gone on at the US-Mexican border. In fact the US has fought a war based on maybe 1% of the provocation compared to the Mexican border. Remember Panama? Oh wait Panama isn't on the border it's hundreds of miles south.

The sacred totems of the nation state are mysterious and flexible. They aren't hobbled by small minded adherence to logic or consistency. And why wouldn't Russians want to be part of a failed state where the majority hates them? What could go wrong? And besides the Ukrainians new western sugar daddies may not be willing to give them as much if they aren't getting power over Russia.

The U.S. Owns and controls the dollar system. I am sure that American financial institutions are attacking the Russian system as I write this. I am no financial analyst, but what could / would Russia do if push comes to shove? Would they price their oil in Yuan or Euro? How about back it by gold and sell their oil for gold ? Would the Russians do that? As an exporter don't you want something of value for your products, especially if you know it would cut the nuts off your enemy? Would China follow? The Russians launched a test ICBM a couple days ago. They are playing hard ball with our community organizer and chief. I don't think the end game ends with the Ukraine.

Have no fear, Vallery Jarret and David Axlerod are working diligently to pen a bunch of mealy mouthed drivel for Kenyan Teleprompter Hour. Soothing platitudes and implied empathy shall placate the sheep. The next speech should be particularly moving, lots of "Let me be clear." Putin better watch out, there me even be some *(bang hands on podium for effect)* followed by *(dramatic pause)*

Great... they are such fools. You ain't seen nothing yet till you seen a babushka revolution. They will beat to a pulp the ball sacks off of those neo nazi pricks in Kiev eating kosher food with their Klitschy friends. A babushka is to be feared more than an M1 tank.

Thanks "Agent"83_vf_1100_c for the link. [I really can't believe I'm saying that about a link to BI!?!]

But following your link puts it in perspective somewhat, essentially RT presented what Russia's map WOULD LOOK LIKE IF one were to include the Crimea, and some people(including ZH interns) didn't like RT keping THAT map as their background image as long as they did.
